THOUGHT OF THE DAYThey say no two snowflakes are alike. That’s amazing to think about when you consider all the millions and trillions and quadrillions of snowflakes that fall to earth each winter. Imagine – each snowflake a different shape and a different size, unique and unrepeatable. Sounds like human beings. Remember what Juan Mascaro said: Each one of us is a unique event in the universe. 

Now listen to this little poem about snowflakes: 

Though each flake is very different

There is one point you should know:

As the snowflakes reach the Earth below

They become one in a great blanket of snow.

Which brings me to this: Just like a great blanket of snow, made up of all those unique and unrepeatable snowflakes, we are one huge blanket of unique and unrepeatable human beings covering Planet Earth. Imagine that! Today, think about the choices that you make to keep you a unique individual, and one who tries to be like others.
